Introduction

The Portable Radioisotope Identification (PRID) system detects and identifies multiple radionuclide, provides quantified results using field strength analysis and stores the results & spectrum for future reference. It can be operated in various modes as Identifier mode, MCA mode, Transfer stored spectrum mode, Administrator mode and Dosimeter mode.

1. Ability to identify up to 20 Radionuclide (easily expandable).
2. Useful energy range extends from 150 KeV to 3 Mev with saturation field strength of 2000 µR/Hr for Cs-137.
3. Online background cancellation and dead time correction.
4. Individual cutoff for each radionuclide for identification.
5. Minimum detection time of one second.
6. 3.5” 320 X 240 color TFT LCD display.
7. Ability to work in Identifier, MCA and Dosimeter modes.
8. RS-232 based communication for transfer of data to P.C.
9. ANSI N42.34 - 2006 compliant features.
10. Menu driven structure with seven keys for operation of instrument.
11. 15 hours continuous operation battery life.

It consists of the spectrometer electronics, the gamma ray detector (attached inside the module) The HV module (installed on the rear end of the instrument), two-battery pack (installed in the sides of the instrument), an AC power adapter for battery charger ) and optional devices / software.

The Portable Radioisotope Detection and Identification (PRID) system finds applications for ascertaining radioactive contamination mainly for public safety. One of the applications in steel industry is ore and scrap handling besides other applications in various dimensions.
